we were told by some one of a pretty little bay not widely known about..so off we went to find it and it was pretty too and well off the beaten track...this is the village inn and post office..14th century inn called the Grampus[old name for Whales] picture post card pretty with thatched roves and grapes growing on a couple of places and of course the hedges of red Fushia    |

this small two roomed building was the village school... the church can just about be seen in the background..a lovely old place dating back to the 13th century..with some pretty impressive carvings still in good condition    |

part of the choir stalls....just to sit and ponder for a while on all the people who must have sat in the same places right down the centuries....is quite amazing....as is the fact that some families their names crop up in every century which has passed right down to today   this church had a small gallery..  |

I love them all, mouse. Beautiful place for a relaxing vacation.
When I go to the shore I head off for a sandy beach but this is a nice change.

this is George..he sits on the landing...the suit was made and worn for a family member way way back..but is known as George by all and sundry  there are three different lots of stairs...this stair led from the kitchen up to the main bedroom...on the wall you can see a plate[blue and white]actually its a neat devise for keeping food warm as below the pottery is a brass dish which one fills with hot water....I have one the same some where in the loft which belonged to my great grandmother..the sticking out bit is where the water is poured into  in keeping with the times..the house had its own chapel...the wooden chest had a hole in its lid for the putting of """"peters pence""which would be added up and sent to Rome every now and then  a very small window next to the enterance to the chapel..with a hollowed out stone for holy water to use before going into the chapel for mass[as it would have been back in the day the house was built  |

looking back toward the kitchen....all the down stairs floors looked as though they had been polished..which they had but by the feet of all the hundreds who had walked upon them...the foor is made of the pre runner to concrete..namely lime and crushed rocks and many other ghastly imputs such as dog dirt eughghgh however the floors have well and truly past the test of time and are only worn in a couple of places..not by daily usage but by alterations to size of rooms etc  |
